The explanation is a difficult one but I like the resemblance .
I still didn’t figure out why I painted this, the explanation always comes a little bit later .
I know this is not a clever thing to say on my blog about my art , because in ‘Art World’ we are supposed to have a theme, a story behind it , a full philosophy of why and what you paint. That is what sells!
I simply can’t , yes I am rebelling here, not on purpose,.. I just don’t know how to start with the story and then paint, I do it the other way around!
The story which I paint is a translation of what I capture in my memory , a story lived, an emotion felt , it subconsciously comes out when I paint, so the connection of what I see and experience trough life, I store into my brains to be put back into a painting one day.
The part where the ‘intelligent thinking part ‘ of the brain is, is in the painting a skeleton looking part ,,weird. A Skeleton is a way of visualising death , death doesn’t always mean death as the end of existence, the dividing of soul and body, it also means an end to something.
An end to a relationship in any form, a (bad) habit, a long lasted routine in daily life for example, so when something ends it means a new beginning to something else.
Death is not negative it means change and when change kicks in , new beginnings are unfolding. That is mostly positive.
So on the painting the eyes see but don’t make the connection to the brain to translate of what they actually see,. because that part of the brain visualises death. It stops there.
Is it not that our eyes are conditioning us way too much lately,? We all have our ‘tick on the list ‘ behaviour, where we so love to hold onto as our Bible how it should be. Is the message that we need to feel more how something ‘is’ instead of how something looks. Are we going to shallow on the ‘outside’ world and are we tricked by our own eyes?, Or are we sometimes trying to hard of wanting to see something which isn’t there in the first place .?
Paint on…going out!
Goodnight
